    AMEN. Especially that last line. We ALL know Tomlin is a dumpster fire of a HC and should be a DB coach on a high school JV team. Overpaid by like $50 million or something.

    Rooney is now the turd in the punch bowl. He doesn't give a RATS ARSE about winning a playoff game again. DOES NOT CARE. He is not like the past Rooney's, he's all business and no passion.

    If he does not fire Tomlin and clean house this coming off-season, he seals it as one of the 5 worst ownership groups in the NFL...and the only one of those 5 still trending downward.

    Steelers coaching, which is a stretch just saying it, is embarrassing and abysmal. The players might not be all that, sure, but I haven't seen a coaching staff get so little out of so much in over a decade...and I am including ALL football, pro, college both.

    Do they have Terrible Bags? I need something to cover my head when I next go to a game. Maybe one of those Bengal head bags, painted gold? Maybe I'll stitch together two terrible towels and put a picture of bug-eyes Tomlin on it next to a sh*t emoji.

    Rooney = Nutting. Both don't care as long as the money keeps flowing

    I said last year the oline coach and the defense dive coordinator had to go. We have done nothing but invest in pedigree for the offensive line and the defense. How many new bodies do we have to throw at these issues with the same results? All the money wasted and talent wasted because of a weak owner and a prideful head coach.

    ‘it’s only gonna get worse and more conservative on defense with Elliot out as we have no safeties at this point. The other issue is we have no speed on the back end of the defense. We can’t keep adding aging veterans to the roster at skill positions where speed matters and expect those guys to produce. These guys have all lost a step.

    ‘Tomlin plays these guys and positions them as if they are still stars but they aren’t. You can’t etc-ect Ramsey and Slay to produce like they used too. We have backups at safety. The defensive line and the devs aren’t producing. The ilb’s aren’t being used right and they aren’t being coached. They lack instinct and fundamentals to their game.

    Title of the thread should be how many peewee coaches better than Tomlin. He might not finish last on that list.

    This is the part that's been getting to me for a long time, years in fact. Tomlin preaches "we just need to execute better" as if that would justify not scheming and confusing the offense. Deception is (supposed to be) part of the game, why wouldn't you use every advantage including execution AND deception. People have been saying for years the Steelers defense is predictable, and teams have shown it to be true by taking advantage of it, so while perfect execution would be fantastic, add other advantages and schemes with it or you get what's happening now.

    Tomlin is the Doc Rivers of the NFL.....Win in 2008,finals or super bowl berth in 2010 but nothing since that time outside of one conference finals....The only difference,Tomlin stay with the same team since that time

    At this point if anyone is defending Tomlin it’s because they want to, not because there is reason to.

    “Who is better out there than Tomlin?”

    * keeps getting blown out in the playoffs*

    Tomlin and his garbage staff have been banging their heads into the same wall for the past decade +. When I spend money for entertainment, I don't want to be pissed off and feel like crap at the end. I used to look forward to coming to Pittsburgh every year for a game but I've become so ambivalent toward Mike Tomlin and any team he coaches that I'm no longer willing to spend my entertainment dollars on this shîtshow. Can you imagine going to a concert or show and leaving feeling like this when it was over? You would probably want your money back and at the least, likely wouldn't buy their tickets again. Especially if you felt that the artist didn't give a crap that you were even there. I'm done putting money in Rooney's pocket for entertainment until he wakes the f#$% up and decides to deliver something that is actually entertaining and doesn't make me feel like I'm wasting my time and money. Crappy way to start the week after another typical showing on Sunday that has become all too common with Tomlin leading the band.

    I love the implication that the game plan is perfect, but he can't MAKE the players execute it up to his standards. It's never that his plan sucked and they executed it perfectly.

    I've grown so very weary of seeing and hearing this man. His whole persona has gotten so tired.

    Tomlin is not a good coach. The Steelers will soon be a decade without a playoff win. Tomlin took a franchise that was a perennial contender and turned it into a perennial non-contender. That will be his legacy. He has been unable to develop talent, including coaches, and build a team. His in-game decision-making is constantly flawed. He has no sense of when to take risks and when to avoid risks. The Steelers have followed a downward trajectory under his weak leadership and plateaued at a level of maddening mediocrity.

    That's a really good take, good enough to get you there, not good enough to win enough big games.

    We could make a great argument that Marty had so many bad luck in the playoffs(like his offense had 15 fumbles and his teams have recover none of those,who is crazy!)....Never had a break come playoffs time.For Tomlin,the steelers were down by 21 points in each of the last 6 playoffs game,so we can't said that he was unlucky

    I quit going to see some of my favorite bands because halfway through the show they go off on about a 2 minute diatribe of political nonsense. Our family goes to at least one away Steelers game every season. This tradition is unfortunately ending this year. I don’t want to waste my money on this terrible product anymore until drastic necessary changes have been made.

    If I'm gonna spend $5K.... I wouldn't spend it on a Steelers game. With the advent of flat-panel HD TVs... I'd rather sit in my living room and watch the game. After parking, motel, tickets, concessions, etc....for a 3 hour game to likely watch the team get their asses handed to them is not worth it in any sense. A ski trip to Colorado or Vancouver would be more bang for the buck.
